I have had the original Drivers, and the newest versions from 3dfx. Right now i am using openGL drivers because someone on this board recommended it, but the OpenGL doesnt work all that well. I have seen several from voodoofiles.com, but i am not sure which ones are the best. I have heard good things about WickedGL drivers, are they any good? And which do you think are the best? Thanx in advance NuGgEt

Check for some updated 3rd party drivers for your card.. I am using the underground Winxp voodoo 5/4 drivers and d3d/glide runs great.. Haven't tested much ogl though.. __________________ Play emulated games online Main Rig\|\|Intel i7 2600k @4.4 ghz\|2x4 gb DDR3 1600\|Asrock Extreme7 Gen3\|EVGA GTX670 2GB\|EVGA GTX460 PhysX\|2x Seagate 160gb SATA150 Raid0\|250 gb Samsung SATA2 HD\| OCZ 240GB SSD SATA3 \|NEC 3520 4x/8x DVD+R/RW DL burner\|Rosewill 1000 Watt\|40" Sony Bravia 1080p\|Logitec 5.1 Speaker System w/10" Sub\|Windows 7 64bit Ultimate\|\| SimplyBuyIt - Health&Nutrition

The only difference is that the wickedgl logo gets shown on the screen in the demo.. NOt too distracting.. __________________ Play emulated games online Main Rig\|\|Intel i7 2600k @4.4 ghz\|2x4 gb DDR3 1600\|Asrock Extreme7 Gen3\|EVGA GTX670 2GB\|EVGA GTX460 PhysX\|2x Seagate 160gb SATA150 Raid0\|250 gb Samsung SATA2 HD\| OCZ 240GB SSD SATA3 \|NEC 3520 4x/8x DVD+R/RW DL burner\|Rosewill 1000 Watt\|40" Sony Bravia 1080p\|Logitec 5.1 Speaker System w/10" Sub\|Windows 7 64bit Ultimate\|\| SimplyBuyIt - Health&Nutrition

I downloaded the wickedgl drivers from both voodoofiles.com and the official site, and both of them said that the file size was corrupt and unusuable!! Is there anywhere else i can download them, or fix this problem? Oh yea, before it said it was unusable, it prompted me if i wanted to install the drivers, so the application does work (sorta) thanx! __________________ My Dinosaur: CPU: AMD 2000+ RAM: 512 MB PC3200 Vid Card: 64MB GeForce 2 Ti CD: Iomega 8x4x32 and Creative 52x Sound: SB Live Mobo: MSI K7T Pro2-A OS: Win 98SE HD: 160GB

Do you wish to continue? Yes/No (Buttons)" I click yes, then: "This file is not the correct size or is corrupt, and is unusable." __________________ My Dinosaur: CPU: AMD 2000+ RAM: 512 MB PC3200 Vid Card: 64MB GeForce 2 Ti CD: Iomega 8x4x32 and Creative 52x Sound: SB Live Mobo: MSI K7T Pro2-A OS: Win 98SE HD: 160GB

I am on 56k, and every time after 5 min it kinda just stops, the furthest i have gotten is like 80%... Thats weird cause i have downloaded a bunch of stuff today (its kinda an updating day), and everything that has taken 15-30 minutes has been just fine! I will try this new file... __________________ My Dinosaur: CPU: AMD 2000+ RAM: 512 MB PC3200 Vid Card: 64MB GeForce 2 Ti CD: Iomega 8x4x32 and Creative 52x Sound: SB Live Mobo: MSI K7T Pro2-A OS: Win 98SE HD: 160GB
